Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) - IMDb

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a 2011 adventure fantasy film and the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Gore Verbinski, who had directed the three previous films, was replaced by Rob Marshall, while Jerry Bruckheimer again served as producer.

In the film, which draws inspiration from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is joined by Angelica (Penélope Cruz) in his search for the Fountain of Youth, confronting the infamous pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). The film was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, and had its theatrical debut in release dates falling within May 18 and May 20, 2011.

the famed Navigator it refers to is:

Juan Ponce de León as in Castile and León

Juan Ponce de León[1] (English pronunciation: /ˈpɒns də ˈliən/[2] Spanish pronunciation: [ˈponθe ðe leˈon]; 1474 – July 1521)[3] was a Spanish explorer. He became the first Governor of Puerto Rico by appointment of the Spanish crown. He led the first European expedition to Florida, which he named. He is associated with the legend of the Fountain of Youth, reputed to be in Florida.

Juan Ponce de León was born in the village of Santervás de Campos in the northern part of what is now the Spanish province of Valladolid. Although early historians placed his birth in 1460, more recent evidence shows he was likely born in 1474. His family genealogy is extremely confusing and poorly documented.[citation needed] There is no consensus on who his parents were but it seems that he was a member of a distinguished and influential noble family. His relatives included Rodrigo Ponce de León, Marquis of Cádiz a celebrated figure in the Moorish wars.[4]

Ponce de León was also related to another notable family, Núñez de Guzmán, and as a young man he served as squire to Pedro Núñez de Guzmán, Knight Commander of the Order of Calatrava. A big contemporary chronicler, Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés, states that Ponce de León became an experienced soldier fighting in the Spanish campaigns that defeated the Moors in Granada and completed the re-conquest of Spain in 1492.[5]

let's see if we can find a cathedral built during his time:

Cathedral of San Juan Bautista - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cathedral of San Juan Bautista is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The cathedral is one of the oldest buildings in San Juan, and is the second oldest cathedral in the Americas. The Catedral de Santa María la Menor in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic is the oldest. Construction of Cathedral San Juan began in 1521 (HM 9 for fun ).[1]

The cathedral contains the tomb of the Spanish explorer and settlement founder Juan Ponce de León. It also has the relics of Carlos Manuel Rodríguez Santiago, the first Puerto Rican, the first Caribbean-born layperson and the first layperson in the history of the United States to be beatified

Maria Popova: Abstracting Atlantis: Scientists Find Evidence of Mayan Underwater City

In December 2009, Herald de Paris published a curious article about the likely discovery of a submerged city in the Western Caribbean. While the discovery could have tremendous implications for modern archaeology, the story remained, forgive the pun, largely under the radar.

Today, we sit down with architectural historian and archaeologist Jes Alexander, who spearheaded the research team, to get the first-hand details of what could be a piece of real-life Atlantis

Maria Popova: What is it, exactly, that your team discovered and how?

Jes Alexander: Well, we believe we have found the remains of an ancient city on the sea floor in the Western Caribbean. It is important to note that we have yet to be to the site, but what we believe we have found is the remains of an ancient city that was formerly above sea level, and perhaps as much as 4500-8000 years old. This has nothing to do with another site, found almost 10 years ago by a Canadian/Russian team working to map the sea floor near the Yucatan Peninsula. Their site is nearly 2 miles below the sea floor. The site we are working with is much shallower - in between 40 and 70 feet of water. We initially found anomalous objects by mapping a grid and searching the sea floor using simple Google Earth technology. As we zeroed in on the site location, we sought out other satellite imagery and ocean floor maps to arrive at this hypothesis.

MP: Is it true that the exploration was inspired by a reported sighting from a plane window by Earnest Hemingway's brother? What's the full story there?

JA: That's true. In 1954, Ernest Hemingway's brother, Leicester, was on his way from the US to Havana, to meet with his brother, the renown author and war correspondent. At one point, Leicester Hemingway was looking out the airplane window, and claims to have seen, "A city of glistening marble," below the sea. He then spent the next 40 years of his life trying to find it, again. He never did, but for the latter part of his life, Leicester Hemingway was obsessed with the story of Atlantis.

Ruins in Georgia mountains show evidence of Maya connection - National Architecture & Design | Examiner.com

Archaeological zone 9UN367 at Track Rock Gap, near Georgia’s highest mountain, Brasstown Bald, is a half mile (800 m) square and rises 700 feet (213 m) in elevation up a steep mountainside. Visible are at least 154 stone masonry walls for agricultural terraces, plus evidence of a sophisticated irrigation system and ruins of several other stone structures. Much more may be hidden underground. It is possibly the site of the fabled city of Yupaha, which Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto failed to find in 1540, and certainly one of the most important archaeological discoveries in recent times.

by curiosity let's see if there is a gold mine in the area:

North Georgia Travel Destinations: Dahlonega Gold Rush, Helen's Octoberfest, Blairsville Music Fest | Suite101.com

North Georgia has mountains, wineries and gold!

Just a couple hours north of Atlanta, the mountain towns of North Georgia can give you the refreshing mini-vacation you’ve been craving. From the gold mines of Dahlonega to Brasstown Bald, small towns offer bits of Georgia history along with places to get back to nature and relax.

Dahlonega, known as the first site of the American gold rush, is located about an hour north of Atlanta. Just off Georgia Highway 400, the town got its name from the Cherokee word “Talonega” which means golden. The Cherokee Indians lived in villages all around the North Georgia Mountains until they were forced to leave during the Trail of Tears.

Loubser described the 9UN367 archaeological site as being unique in the United States, and stated that examples of such sites are only found elsewhere in the Maya Highlands and South America. However, he did not present an explanation for who built the stone walls. He was in a conundrum. The Eastern Band of Cherokees had labeled Track Rock Gap as a “Cherokee Heritage Sacred Site.” He had been led to believe that the area had occupied by the Cherokee Indians for many centuries, yet he also knew that the Cherokees never built large scale public works. In fact, the Cherokees established a handful of hamlets in the extreme northeastern tip of Georgia during the 1700s, but the western side of Brasstown Bald Mountain, where Track Rock is located, was not official Cherokee territory until 1793.

talking about Fountain of Youth: a re post to remind you that there exist ponds that heal

Miraculous Mud Pond with Alien Healing Powers

People are flocking to wallow in the mud of 3 small remote ponds that locals in Peru believe to possess miraculous healing powers brought by alien space ships. Residents of Chilca — a dusty, desert town on the Pacific coast 40 miles (20 kilometers) southeast of Lima — claim that aliens altered the mud flats in town, infusing them with inexplicable healing powers.

The 3 Healing Lagoons
The “Lagoon of Miracles” which lies near the entrance of the town along with the mud ponds that surround it is said to heal skin aliments, acne, rheumatism, and arthritis with its distinct greenish colored mud containing minerals of chloride of sodium, sulfate, and carbonate of calcium.

The “Lagoon of Enchantment” is a crevasse in the interior of the lagoon linked directly with the sea by an underwater canal, sought after to heal ailments of the eyes, nerves, joints, and low blood pressure.

The “Lagoon of Mellicera” is believed to increase fertility and may be attributed for the unusually high birth rate of twins in the village. Locals use the lagoon to cure skin and bones aliments, and relief from diabetes.

UFO Sightings
Local doctors and scientists accredit these enigmatic and inexplicable healing properties to the UFO’s which have allegedly been sighted and well documented in the area that seemingly radiate the waters.

Mayor Ruma Nueda says, “Lots of people claim to have seen UFO’s and strange lights in the night sky over Chilca. People here believe in UFO’s.”

“Locals say that space ships come to harvest an unknown material from the [ocean] area off Chilca’s beach. The UFO’s supposedly leave behind substances that leach into the ponds and give them curative powers.”

“Townspeople cite an abundance of twins in Chilca — more than 100 pairs in this town of 10,000, as proof of the power of the ‘Twin Maker’ pond.” Nueda says.

A plethora of information can be found on the net claiming Peruvian sightings and film footage, with sites even dedicated to UFO’s in Peru.

No one else saw or heard her. The sightings reportedly took place in a shallow grotto on a rock outcrop called Massabiele. A spring then issued from the site, and the other villagers, although they did not see the Lady, did report the sudden appearance of the spring. Lourdes, confirmed by the Vatican, became a popular (and profitable) shrine where thousands of people reported miraculous healings. The Lourdes Bureau claims to certified sixty of these as unexplained. Note that springs and wells are important in ancient Celtic, or Druid, mythology.

the following is applicable to many themes of our Discussion:

Introductory Remarks.

ALTHOUGH this brief epitome of Moorish
history runs to 40 pages, the space occupied
is not excessive. It is true of most
countries that you cannot understand to-day unless
you know something of yesterday, and this truth
applies with special force to Morocco, which
without some knowledge of its history would
be a hopeless enigma.

The anecdotes inserted are intended not only
to lighten the narrative, but to illustrate present
Moorish life. The incidents in the flight of Idris I.,
the building of Fez, &c., might mutatis mutandis
happen to-day. The stories of Kahena and of
Zeinab will show that women's life in the East is
not the mere harem existence it is supposed to
be.

Historical Sketch.

CHAPTER I.
Early Days.

Legends. Ancient legends tell of Antaeus, the mighty

Giant son of Atlas, King of Mauretania. The
monster killed all whom he could catch, to add
their skulls to a mound which he was raising in
honour of Neptune (which is none other than Poseidon God of Atlantis. Hercules destroyed him, and
the rocks which guard the Straits of Gibraltar are
known to this day as the " Pillars of Hercules."

The Berbers claim for themselves descent from Goliath of Gath,
the Amalekite giant who fell before the pebble of David, the shepherd
boy of Israel.

In 424 A.D. we find Bonifacius, the Roman
Count (Comes) of Africa, inviting Genseric the
Goth to Morocco. These kinsmen of our own
Anglo-Saxons accepted the invitation to such
purpose as to form a Vandal Empire which lasted
for about 80 years. Some ethnologists claim still to
recognise traces of the blood of the fair-haired blue-
eyed Goths amongst the mixed races of Morocco.

A Christian Hermit. Idris II. founds Fez.

On a fair hillside clothed in verdure and forest a
young Moorish noble is busying himself and a
few followers. It is February, in the year of
our Lord 808, and the country shows the tender
green due to the influence of spring. An old
hermit whose crucifix betokens his creed, and
whose solitude has been disturbed by the bustle,
asks him what he is doing. " Building a City "
is the curious reply. The answer seems to
awaken th£ old man from the lethargy of age
and, " If this be so, O Emir, I have good tidings
for thee," quoth he. He then narrates how his
predecessor at the hermitage told him that a
city named "Sef" had been located there 1,700
years ago. The *' Book of Knowledge " of this
predecessor had also stated that "one day a son of
" the Prophets should come and rebuild, his name
" shall be Idris, and his achievements great : he
" shall plant Islam here, and it shall endure for
"ever." "Praised be God," said Idris, and starts
digging the foundations of Fez.

here is an interesting Family:

The Glories of Empire.

Origin of Again the change of dynasty had its origin in
Almohade a religious *' Revival." A desert Berber tribe
Power, inflamed with reforming zeal, rushed upon the
settled kingdom and subjugated it. Mohammed,
son of Tumart, the originator of the movement,
was a man of mark. He was originally a poor
student who visited the East and acquired a

reputation for sanctity.* As a mystic reverenced
under the title of " Mehdi " {the directed of God) he
found refuge in the Atlas Mountains not far
from Marrakesh, and passed on his mission to
Abd-el-Mumin, who took the Southern capital by
force of arms in 1 147-8 a.d. Abd-el-Mumin is the
favourite hero of Moorish history. He was a
great horseman, his skin was white and cheeks
ruddy, his eyes dark and his beard thick. He
was learned in " the Law and the Prophets " and
a devoted lover of poetry. But, above all, he
was a great administrator, and passed on an
organized Empire to his descendants.!

It was in his time that Sicily was ruled by Norman
Counts, and the tivo Rogers, father and son, were men
of great ability. They took Algeria, Tunis and Tripoli,
and would have carried their conquests furthey\ (says
the Arab historian) but for a quarrel which resulted in
war with the Byzantine Emperor, whom they defeated
and bearded in Constantinople.

* He was not particular as to the means. When he was beaten, he
got some friends to allow themselves to be buried alive with breathing
boles arranged. At night be took his followers to the battlefield and
addressed questions to the faithful dead. He was answered by his
confederates who told of the glories of Paradise. When the dupes had
gone, he buried his friends in real earnest. " Dead men tell no tales."

t One of the towns re-established by Abd el Mumin was Mequinez
(iijo A.D.), and the water supply of Sallee was laid on by him. He also
built the castle at Gibraltar (1161 a.d.).

J After the death of the second Roger, his son Gregory lost Algeria
and Tunis to Abd el Mumin, who thus extended his Empire till it
included Spain and the whole cf North Africa.


Abd-el-Mumin's son, Abou Yakoub Yussef, who
succeeded him (1163) was a great student,* and
administrator, who would be better known to
history, but for his eclipse by his more famous
brother '• El Mansur."

The greatest of this family was Abou Yussef
Yacoub, who is usually known emphatically as
" El Mansur " the Victorious (sometimes written
Almansor). He beat three Christian Kings
combined (Kings of Castille, Leon, and Aragon)
on the field of Alarcos (1195 a.d.).

the following made my heart skip a bit

* Averroes / Avicenna, one of the most famous Muslim philosophers (his proper
name is Abu-'l-Welid-ibn-Roshd), was at one time imprisoned by him
because he wrote " Venus then is one of the Divinities "—a gloss on a
classical author. He was liberated afterwards on being better under-
stood and accompanied the succeeding monarch, El Mansur, as a
closa friend int« Morocco, where he died.

At Agadir in Morocco, reports Peter Kolosimo, the French captain Lafanechere "discovered a complete arsenal of hunting weapons including five hundred double-edged axes weighing seventeen and a half pounds, i.e. twenty times as heavy as would be convenient for modern man. Apart from the question of weight, to handle the axe at all one would need to have hands of a size appropriate to a giant with a stature of at least 13 feet."2 (See Australian Giants; La Tene; South American Giants)

Edgar Cayce on Atlantis | Paranormal News Central

We must remember that the periods of exodus from Atlantis were far apart. The type of civilization carried to the region of the Pyrenees and America just before and after the first destruction was not the same as that carried to Central America and Morocco before the second upheaval, and to Egypt and Yucatan before the final destruction.

In the Pyrenees there are ruins of the early Atlantean settlements; and in Morocco early settlements, also as yet uncovered.

Anthropologists once believed North and South America had initially been populated by Asians crossing a land bridge connecting Asia and Alaska during the last Ice Age, some 20,000 years ago. However, recent genetic DNA analysis of Native Americans now places the initial wave of migration between 38,000 to 50,000 years ago.



Genetic DNA analysis can trace the ethnic tribal lineage, and thereby land of the origin, of a human being.



Native American tribes contain four distinct DNA groupings, designated A, B, C and D. These groupings are found in Asia but not in Europe or Africa. While 96 percent of all indigenous natives in North and South America fall within A, B, C and D, there was a mysterious four percent, dubbed Group X, that couldn't be explained.

Type X subjects were not found in the vast majority of tribes, including none in South America. It was also determined Type X subjects arrived in North America 10,000 to 38,000 years ago, later than the other groups.

By far, the highest concentration of Type X in Europe was found in the Basques, a race of Caucasians who live in the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France. And the highest frequency of Type X in the entire world was found in the Berbers, a race of Caucasians who live in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco in North Africa.

What do you desire to Know and why? Constantly hold it in Mind with a feeling of Respect in your Heart and the resources to unfold one's comprehension in regards to this subject will appear within you and before you. To use a familiar proverb, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears."

When we make Truth, Beauty, Love, Wisdom, Joy, and other constructive principles our very Purpose, there is no more searching for these qualities as they begin to appear everywhere in some form.

To describe the type of spirituality that arises from the consciousness of the later stages, we quote Richard Maurice Bucke, the author of Cosmic Consciousness (a book that probably influenced the above model to some degree):

In contact with the flux of cosmic consciousness all religions known and named today will be melted down. The human soul will be revolutionized. Religion will absolutely dominate the race. It will not depend on tradition. It will not be believed and disbelieved. It will not be a part of life, belonging to certain hours, times, occasions. It will not be in sacred books nor in the mouths of priests. It will not dwell in churches and meetings and forms and days. Its life will not be in prayers, hymns nor discourses. It will not depend on special revelations, on the words of gods who came down to teach, nor on any bible or bibles. It will have no mission to save men from their sins or to secure them entrance to heaven. It will not teach a future immortality nor future glories, for immortality and all glory will exist in the here and now. The evidence of immortality will live in every heart as sight in every eye. Doubt of God and of eternal life will be as impossible as is now doubt of existence; the evidence of each will be the same. Religion will govern every minute of every day of all life. Churches, priests, forms, creeds, prayers, all agents, all intermediaries between the individual man and God will be permanently replaced by direct unmistakable intercourse. Sin will no longer exist nor will salvation be
desired. Men will not worry about death or a future, about the kingdom of heaven,
about what may come with and after the cessation of the life of the present body.
Each soul will feel and know itself to be immortal, will feel and know that the
entire universe with all its good and with all its beauty is for it and belongs to it
forever. The world peopled by men possessing cosmic consciousness will be as far
removed from the world of to-day as this is from the world as it was before the
advent of self consciousness.

now read the following: Hazrat Inayat Khan Volume Index

There is One Holy Book, the sacred manuscript of nature, the only scripture which can enlighten the reader.’

Most people consider as sacred scriptures only certain books or scrolls written by hand of man, and carefully preserved as holy, to be handed down to posterity as divine revelation. Men have fought and disputed over the authenticity of these books, have refused to accept any other book of similar character, and, clinging thus to the book and losing the sense of it have formed diverse sects. The Sufi has all ages respected all such books, and has traced in the Vedanta, Zendavesta, Kabala, Bible, Qur’an, and all other sacred scriptures, the same truth which he reads in the incorruptible manuscript of nature, the only Holy Book, the perfect and living model that teaches the inner law of life: all scriptures before nature’s manuscript are as little pools of water before the ocean.

To the eye of the seer every leaf of the tree is a page of the holy book that contains divine revelation, and he is inspired every moment of his life by constantly reading and understanding the holy script of nature.

When man writes, he inscribes characters upon rock, leaf, paper, wood, or steel. When God writes, the characters He writes are living creatures.

It is when the eye of the soul is opened and the sight is keen that the Sufi can read the divine law in the manuscript of nature; and they derived that which the teachers of humanity have taught to their followers from the same source. They expressed what little it is possible to express in words, and so they preserved the inner truth when they themselves were no longer there to reveal it.

you can call him Sufi...mystic....saint..Genius...enlightened .etc....remember fractal

and From The Codex of Love: http://www.energeticforum.com/psychi...ntenna-13.html

The laws of men are bound by the rocks of their churches, and
chains of their minds. The laws of women are held by the knots of
their hearts, and the bonds of their fears and desires. The laws of the
stars bind the angels and the spirits of peace. The fi res of faith hold
the shades and shadows at bay. All is bound by a word and a sigh.
The word is ‘ I’ and the sigh is ‘Am’ . The breath became the Word,
and stood by the I. The I expanded the Am, and became the Lord
and Lady of time. The Word contemplated its meaning, and formed
the Scale and the Law. The Breath chanted the Word, and the Light became the ink of its pen. All belong to the I before the Am. Pay heed,
for nothing in the world is greater than its sigh. Do you not sigh, O
lover, for your beloved? The Am sighs for the I. Love is the chain of
law, and hate is the elixir of death. Sing to the I Am, and let the wine
of ecstasy be your rapture.

I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty,
and wish to see you with a hundred eyes....
I am in the house of mercy,
and my heart is a place of prayer.

here is another interesting charactere ...In lin with Ponce de Leon

Leo Africanus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joannes Leo Africanus (in spanish ) León el Africano, (c. 1494 – c. 1554?) (or al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Wazzan al-Fasi, Arabic:حسن ابن محمد الوزان الفاسي) was a Moorish diplomat and author who is best known for his book Descrittione dell’Africa (Description of Africa) describing the geography of North Africa.

from the french version of wikipedia:

Hassan al-Wazzan was born about 1488 in Granada in Muslim Andalusia . After taking the city in 1492 by Catholic Monarchs , Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon , his family fled to Morocco in the city of Fez

In 1518, back from the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, the ship on which he is attacked, and he was taken prisoner by the "Sicilian sea." It is actually captured by a knight of the Order of St. John, Pedro di Bobadilla. Probably because it has few mistakes to be forgiven, it actually present to Pope Leo X , who adopted as son, catechizing and baptizing the fact under his own name, John Leo. It then becomes Jean-Léon de Medici , known as "Leo Africanus". While in Italy , he learned Italian and Latin, and teaches Arabic at Bologna . Upon request of the pope, he wrote his famous Cosmographia of Affrica , published in Venice under the title Description of Africa . This reference book, which carefully avoids giving military information, is the only source of information on life, manners, and customs in Africa the xvi th century. It is especially through this book that Timbuktu is a mythical city in the European imagination, and it is the inspiration for Rene Caillie party to its discovery. It is also the Bible of all diplomats and explorers interested in Africa.

There is no reliable information on the date and place of death of Leo Africanus.

[MonsieurM]

from: Leo Africanus Discoveries

The Cosmographia Del' Africa and the 1931 manuscript (again the 30's )

In 1550, a Venetian editor published the 1st volume of what would become the most notorious geographical periodical of the times:Navigationi et Viaggi. Among the texts of this volume, and prominently advertised as its most intriguing work was the Cosmographia Dell' Africa, a description of Africa by Leo Africanus.
Leo's fame was immediate, as never before had Western readers delved into the culture and intricacies of Muslim worlds, with such detail and such "objectivity". Leo's novelty was to write in Italian, from a "native" perspective.
While Leo's fame traveled across the globe, no one could locate him. By 1550, he was either dead, or back in North Africa, where no texts seem to make reference to his presence. More importantly, no one seemed to have access to his original manuscript, which his initial editor had admitted changing in several instances. Thus, as the number of translations increased, so did the variations in wording and meaning.

a fractal construct has an 'efficient function', it has a fractal ergonomy to them, they function on multiple levels and in multiple dimensions:

Leo's works:

Cosmographia Del Africa:
Leo's most important work is the Cosmographia Del Africa, a text first published in Italy in 1550. This initial publication was the work of Ramusio, a Venetian editor who did not know Leo, and admitted to 'modifying' Leo's text. For centuries, scholars worked on this 'modified' version, or its translations (some good, some particularly bad).
In 1931, Ms. Angela Codazzi 'discovered' Leo's original manuscript in the Library of the Vatican, unveiling great differences between Ramusio's text and Leo's original words. Unfortunately since this discovery, no scholar has edited and published the manuscript- though several have worked on excerpts. Amongst the most impressive is D. Rauchenberger's German translation of the pages relating to Leo's travels in the Sudan (in, Johannes Leo der Afrikaner, Seine Beschreibung des Raumes zwischen Nil und Niger nach dem Urtext, 1999, Harrassowitz Publishing House).
